He revealed this to members of the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a meeting in Abuja on Tuesday where he made a case for his stand regarding zoning ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

“The southeast said they have not been given a chance, I protested against the violation of the zoning policy in 2007, and together with my friend Bola (Tinubu) we set up Action Congress (AC).

“We went to Lagos, he gave me [a] ticket but said that the condition of handing me the ticket was that I should make him vice president, I said no; I’m not going to make you Vice President; instead, I nominated Senator Ben Obi,” Atiku narrated.
